Got curious so opened the link, waited to load, and pushed back. It worked without issue This is with Firefox on Android, and the uBlock add-on.

I tried again, this time with uBlock disabled. It took like 30 full seconds to load, but still the back action worked fine... so it must be an issue specific to Safari.

Because it’s Yahoo TechCrunch which wants to set tracking cookies on 20 domains because they’d rather have no visitor than one they can’t invasively track. Typically I just go back once I see the consent form, that does work.

This is why I’ve come to just opening these kinds of links in a new tab. Easier to press cmd W than to deal with TC’s stupidity/assholeishness

I thought it was my phone until I saw your post lol.
